Today, French techno producer Gesaffelstein releases “Hard dreams”. Mixing punchy synths and basslines, Gesaffelstein creates the perfect storm for a dark wave record, complete with the addition of Yann Wagner’s smooth vocal delivery. Alongside the track comes an official video complete with shattering reflections and industrial sci-fi elements. The visuals and imagery for the album have been spearheaded by Jordan Hemingway (FKA Twigs, Post Malone, Gucci, Acne Studios) in close collaboration with Mike Levy.
The album will be available on Standard vinyl at all physical retailers as well as on an exclusive D2C Luxury 180g vinyl. Fans can pre-order the physical album HERE and pre-save the digital album HERE. GAMMA showcases Gesaffelstein’s raw, industrial sound and finds Gesaffelstein finally giving the mask a voice.
